Weight: 148.2 lb (+0.4 lb)

Note

First place, three state records, first ever triple bodyweight deadlift, very close to a 2.5x bodyweight squat, first time over 7x bodyweight total, first time ever going 9/9 at a meet. 1064 total, which is a PR at 148 and a state record.

The top sets for squat and bench were real grinds, there's no way I could have done more there. Deadlift I definitely left a few pounds on the platform, but I went a little conservative because I really wanted that 9/9.

In a lot of respects this was the best meet I ever did. It wasn't perfect, but it was pretty close.

Nice job, man. You definitely seem more upbeat about this meet as opposed to the past few. Solid numbers, some state records. You know, just normal stuff 😛
 
Thanks. I mean, its hard to argue with 9/9. I was disappointed in my bench performance - I wanted to top out at 253, but it just wasn't really moving fast enough, and I was really hoping for a 2.5x bodyweight squat, which I just barely missed...but, there's always next time for those things eh?

Note
Pulling without chalk - since i definitely don't have the grip for that, i did a lot of lighter singles on short breaks. Worked out pretty well, although my grip failed on the last set.

My back is starting to feel better, but still isn't 100%. Pushed harder in the squats today, felt decent, although the bar was moving a bit slow.
